Rewinding Viral Reactivation



Rewinding Viral Reactivation

The human body consists of 30 trillion human cells and an estimated 39 trillion microbial cells including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and others that live on us and within us. It is this balance of cells that determines every single aspect of our health.

As clinicians this bug symphony beckons many enquiries. Why is it that some of these microbial cells exist on us and some within us? Why is it that some of these cells become more than ‘us’ and lie dormant, hidden waiting for an opportune moment to reactivate all over again? How does reactivation occur and why are some infections more efficient at this than others?

Some specific infections evade normal immunological tolerance and are unique in their replication, host control, and reactivation potential. The group of viral infections (e.g. CMV and EBV) – specifically within the herpesviridae family - are the most cryptic and unique infections that tend to underpin chronic immune complexities in all systems.

There are more than 130 known herpesviruses and more than 90% of adults are infected with at least one HHSV-1 to HHSV-5 and many strains endemic in humans. The infection is incorporated into the DNA of its host thus changing their health trajectory indefinitely. Numerous sub-groups have been classified and tissue preference of one type is crossing over into other tissue types in surprising ways.

As clinicians we need to evolve our treatment and assessment of these infections beyond usual immune support and address the complexity with holistic, directive, and strategic measures for the health of our patients now and into the future.

Naturopathic Educators, Victoria Caswell and Natalie Koshka will translate the research highlights and patient management insights from Session 1: Rewinding reactivation – The curious complexity and interplay of concomitant infections presented by Leah Hechtman into actionable insights that you can effortlessly integrate into your clinical practice.

This live and online 45-minute masterclass will draw on a real-life clinical case study to ensure you return to your clinic with greater confidence in managing patients with concomitant infections or viral reactivation. 15 minutes of the session will be dedicated to live Q+A with Victoria and Catherine to help you shape Leah’s treatment recommendations into practical management ideas for patients in your clinic.
